Soil heroes - geo gamification app

2015 is the year of the Soils. To raise public awareness on the importance of our soil and its useful organisms (the soil heroes), the Flemish government (www.lne.be) has developed a fun interactive map application. Geosparc engineers built this application using open source software and modern web technology.

Ktunaxa Referral Management System

A classic example of an integrated business solution combing document management, GIS, workflows and reporting was realised for the Ktunaxa Nation Council (Canada).
The system improves the process for managing referrals (requests for buildings, mining, fishing, etc.) between the province and the Ktunaxa.

Department of Agriculture

Every year, the Agriculture and Fisheries agency of the Flemish Government receives reports from over 30.000 Flemish farmers on the use and the location of their farmland. With our Web GIS solution, the Flemish Government has now developed a virtual counter which enables farmers to submit their reports online.

Digital Building Permit

This e-government application automates the process to request and handle building permits and is used by citizens, professionals and the public authorities.
Geosparc professional services and web GIS technology are used for realising the powerful web front-end .

Soil Explorer

The Soil Explorer is an INSPIRE application for discovering soil and sub-soil data in the region of Flanders, Belgium.
Learn more about the Soil Explorer on this public web site.

MAGDA GEO

Flanders has many small & medium sized businesses (SMBs). Until recent, there was no public map available with the exact location of all these SMBs.
Our Web GIS technology has made it possible for the Flemish e-government unit to map and analyse all SMEs.

ESA Landsat 8 Portal

Recovermap

Australia often gets hit by natural disasters (bush fires, tropical storms, etc.). The NDRRA program provides funds to help authorities to repair damages.
Geosparc and its Australian partner offer a SAAS solution to streamline the claim handling process. Both local government officials, field workers and contractors benefit from the system.

Whether on a local, national or international level, governments need to leverage geospatial information to improve administrative procedures, coordinate with other government bodies and to better service their citizens. Governments need scalable, secure and reliable Web GIS solutions.The INSPIRE (Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe) directive requires all European governments to build a spatial infrastructure that links all European geospatial information producers and users to create a Europe-wide spatial network. Geosparc can help integrate this spatial information into applications that support decision making, and that update and validate data authenticity. Geosparc has a vast experience in working with governments on developing and deploying Web GIS solutions providing scalable, reliable and secure geospatial solutions.

Do you think INSPIRE should be easier to implement? From now on, INSPIRE is not hard to implement anymore. Even better: by seamlessy integrating ti with your existing tools, it starts adding value to your processes from day one. With INSPIRE»GIS you can get started in no time using the Cloud version or by getting your own customized and on-premise installation.

The INSPIRE directive is a framework and timetable for sharing spatial data within the European Union in a multinational, multiagency spatial data infrastructure (SDI). INSPIRE technologies and permissions tie data producers and users together into a single geospatial information-sharing community. So far the good news. The other news is that, up till now, this could be a cumbersome project to achieve. No more. 3 highly experienced GIS software companies developed the Open Source INSPIRE»GIS stack: Geosparc, we»transform and Epsilon Italia.

The INSPIRE»GIS stack brings you explorative modelling, ETL made for INSPIRE, Enterprise grade geodata management, very fast publishing services, GIS analytics and the ability to compose and share your own Web GIS application.

The INSPIRE»GIS stack: 6 easy steps

1. DesignExtend INSPIRE schemas with a few clicks, create new ones from scratch or maintain a theme together.

2. TransformLink your current data to INSPIRE and enjoy high performance transformation and validation.

4. PublishCreate View and Download Services with support for common GIS or BI software.

5. ExploreDiscover and view your data together with public sources on all channels.

6. AnalyzeGet to the heart of GIS and perform analytics on rich object models and linked data.
